Sushi Bowls for the entire family with low carb option!

Last Updated on June 29, 2022 by Rebecca Huff

Everyone in the family will be happy with these make your own sushi bowls since there are options for both sushi-rice and a low-carb option for those of us following a grain-free, paleo, or ketogenic lifestyle. The beauty of this recipe is that it uses smoked salmon; that means you can keep the ingredients in the fridge and throw it together at a moments notice.

If you are new to preparing sushi or sushi rice, the first thing you will want to do is rinse the rice. In our video demonstrating a sushi recipe for beginners you will see how we prepare regular sushi rice.

The ingredient in these sushi bowls that makes this recipe special is definitely the low-carb rice. Don't be limited by my recipe, use your own imagination to come up with different ways to make a sushi bowl. If you don't have miracle rice, it's no problem! Just use riced cauliflower to fill the bottom of the bowl. The addition of the seasoning, coconut aminos and rice vinegar will make it taste so much like your favorite sushi roll, you won't care that it's not sushi rice!

I like to add extra seaweed such as Wakame or Dulse flakes. If you want to go for a fusion sushi bowl, you could add in some kimchi, tastes delicious. Another option is pickled sushi ginger. We always use Yum Yum Sauce on stir-fry and it goes great on sushi bowls as well.I typically do not measure ingredients, but eyeball them. If a recipe becomes a favorite I'll try to come up with more exact measurements so that others can get the same results. I do recommend using your own taste buds as your guide especially in a recipe like this. You may even like to add a tiny bit of sweetener (whatever you prefer) to the riced cauliflower to make it taste more like sushi rice, though I have found that coconut aminos lend a sweetness to the dish that makes additional sweetener unnecessary. That will not happen if you substitute soy sauce or tamari.

Here's a short video to give you an idea how they can be varied to accommodate different dietary preferences within the same family.

Let's face it, sushi is delicious but rolling it is time consuming. Why not grab all that flavor and throw it in a bowl? Here's one of my all time favorite go-to meals.
